I’ve always said one’s got to look at horses with current form in these big races. There are quite a few horses with current form and I think it’s going to be quite an open race.
Longstanding past SA champion breeders Summerhill Stud celebrated a feature exacta at Scottsville on Sunday when two sons of Kahal fought out the finish of the R120 000 Highland Night Cup
Gavin Van Zyl saddles the classy Kahal gelding No Worries who will be out to defend his KZN Breeders Million Mile title at Greyville on Sunday. The rich non black-type race is back on the Greyville turf, where it had its inaugural running in June 2012
“There are three ways of getting into the July, through the front door (the top qualifiers like Futura, Legislate and Majmu), the side door (the mid-log incumbents who are relatively safe) and through the back door (the last minute feature race winners and placed horses who stake a late claim) and if you don’t make it you don’t deserve to be there.”

It will be good news for South African racing fans that, despite a number of offers from abroad, Gerald and Karen Kalil’s multiple champion Quid Pro Quo will continue her 3yo season on African soil
The son of Twice Over has been gelded and will be aimed at the Betway Gr1 Summer Cup, the L’Ormarins King’s Plate and the WSB Cape Town Met
